Protest art has been praised for its satirical take on the housing crisis in Phibsbrough.
The "unknown activists" stuck posters on a vacant retail unit which made it look like a real estate shop. The masquerading shop was called "Fibs Estate" and featured the Government's Housing For All plan, which was dubbed 'Housing? FCUK All', as well as Housing Minister Darragh O'Brien.
The shop window has satirical adverts for local available properties. The Shandon Mill was one such advertisement.

Local resident group Cross Guns Campaign shared pictures of the protest art on their Facebook page. They said: "Too good not to share.
"Some creative activism by persons unknown popped up overnight on the Phibsborough Rd highlighting Phibsborough’s derelict and vacant buildings. The Mill features - naturally . Darragh O’Brien’s 'Fibs Estates'."
